Local Laws

As part of their duties, officers enforce local laws adopted by the Harrison Township trustees. Among these are:

Noise

Allows deputies to issue citations to people responsible for creating unreasonably loud, disturbing and unnecessary noises that disturb the people around them. Resolution specifies that noise emanating from horns, loudspeakers, animals, exhausts, construction equipment, blowers, stereos, “boom boxes,” radios and vehicle sound systems, among others, may be considered violations.

Parking

Handicap parking only restricts parking in those spaces for vehicles that display an authorized handicap placard or handicap license plate issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Those spaces are designated by posted signs and/or pavement markings.

Excessive size vehicles (any vehicle exceeding 6.5 feet in width or 20 feet in length) from stopping, standing or parking on any township street or right of way.
